never thought I could see federal law enforcement so depraved that it would negatively polarize local cops to the left, but nothing is impossible for ole Donny Trump
An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

I'll be curious too. At the end of SGU, I was one of the few who knew what the whole arc of the series was intended to be (because I helped craft it) but I wouldn't depend on any new iteration of the franchise sticking to it, if the fate of the SGU folks is in fact addressed at all. Canon changes!
Excited! Hopefully there's at least some reference to what happened after the last scene of SGU.

The Lepore interview boils down to her saying that despite better pay, research support, & resources than 99.9% of historians working today, she wanted to quit because some students - whom she barely has to teach given the low load - were too woke. These are not the advocates the discipline needs!

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files.
Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years.
He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together.
His attacks won't change any of that.
